The Fab West Africa Fair is a B2B trade show that brings together Businesses from various continents across the globe and links them to Customers, Suppliers, and Partners in Nigeria. It’s usually held at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. It’s usually packed with over 220 exhibitors from five continents ready to showcase their services and products at the event. With the international flavour, the event usually places its focus on promoting foreign food and beverage products and manufacturers who want to establish their presence in the Nigerian market while visitors will have an opportunity to find out about the latest local and international food and drink developments and to sample products being launched in Nigeria and the region.
